On reading the brief recording, "Gangrene of the Buttock: A Complication of Umbilical Artery Catheterization,"1 I was convinced that because the contribution was included in Experience and Reason, the conclusion would be to always obtain an adequate x-ray after catheterization to verify proper positioning. Such an x-ray was not obtained until more than 30 hours postcatheterization in the above-mentioned case report. However, I reached the end of the article with no mention of the importance of these x-ray studies.

Objectives Studies on the short-, medium and long-term effects of flow guiding stents are still limited. In this case report, we present three-year follow-up of the multilayer flow modulator stent in a 55-year-old patient with Crawford Type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods A 55-year-old male patient with Crawford Type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm had applied to our medical center. The aneurysm involved coeliac truncus and superior mesenteric artery and extended to the renal artery ostia. Multilayer flow modulator stent was successfully placed, and follow-up CT (Computed tomography) angiographic examination images recorded intermittently (36 months). Results After three years, it was observed that the left renal artery was thrombosed and the left kidney went to atrophy. Other major vascular branches were observed to be open. During this time, the aneurysm was completely closed with thrombus, but the diameter of the aneurysm continued to increase. Conclusions Multilayer flow modulator stents are safe in complex aortic aneurysms. The device increases the thrombus load in the aortic aneurysm and maintains the flow of the main vascular branches. But re-interventions, dilatation of the aneurysm sac and visceral branch obstructions are still challenging for multilayer flow modulator stents.
